Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a prompt device, and more particularly to a prompt device that displays data and captures images. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, a teleprompter is an electronic display device whose main purpose is to guide a user (e.g., an actor or user, or a performer) to read the necessary script and proceed with various activities such as video recording or public speeches.

[0003] Referring to FIG. 1, Patent Document 1 describes a teleprompter 100, which has glass, a camera, and a display screen installed inside a light-blocking cover. The glass reflects the display data on the display screen and transmits the video image captured by the video camera. The display screen of the teleprompter 100 is located in front of the camera (usually at the bottom edge of the glass). The text on the display screen is reflected to the user's eyes through transparent glass or a special beam splitter. Light from the user penetrates the front of the glass and enters the camera. A protective cover surrounding the camera and the back of the glass can prevent unwanted light from entering the camera.

[0004] The teleprompter eliminates the need for the user to bow and look at a book or notes, and can give the illusion of the user memorizing the speech or speaking spontaneously, and looking directly at the camera.

[0005] Although many teleprompters have been developed in the prior art, they still have the following drawbacks in practical use:

[0006] First, there is the impact of the image quality.

[0007] The camera of the teleprompter 100 is installed behind the glass, and light rays from the direction of the user must pass through the glass to reach the camera. However, the glass is installed at an angle, so dust or oil film may adhere to it, and the surface of the glass may be covered with a film such as a polarizing filter that helps reflect light depending on the conditions of use. This can cause phenomena such as refraction, polarization, and shading of the light rays that reach the camera, which can affect the image quality of the captured image.

[0008] Second, processing the displayed text.

[0009] Since the image displayed on the display screen of the teleprompter 100 reaches the user's eyes through reflection, the image displayed on the display screen must be mirrored in order for the user to understand the displayed image, especially the text. If the mirroring process is not performed, the user will see an inverted font and will not be able to understand the meaning of the text.

[0010] Thirdly, the issue of connecting electrical wires on the sides.

[0011] The light-shielding cover of the teleprompter 100 completely covers the glass, camera, and display screen, and has no holes to prevent light from entering the interior. Therefore, cables connecting the display screen to the outside must be connected to the rear panel. However, all ports on conventional flat display screens are located on the sides of the display screen, making it difficult to extend the connecting cables from the display screen to the outside.

[0012] Therefore, it is an urgent task for related engineers to solve how to eliminate the need for mirroring of the display screen while maintaining optimal image quality and allowing the transmission cable connected to the display screen to be pulled out from the side.

The magic mirror 6 is disposed at an angle and has a reflective surface and a transmissive surface. The photographing module 5 corresponds to the reflective surface, and the display module 4 corresponds to the transmissive surface. The screen displayed by the display module 4 passes through the magic mirror 6 and is incident on the user 21 in a first direction 22.

The first direction 22 and the second direction 23 are opposite directions in the same space. The user 21 only needs to look directly at the magic mirror 6 to view reference data for recording or live broadcasting, and simultaneously record the front of the user 21.

[0035] Referring to Figures 3, 5 and 6, the display fixing frame 31 comprises two spaced apart lower fixed side rails 311, two first structural clamps 312, two second structural clamps 313 removably connected to the two first structural clamps 312, two protruding blocks 314 provided on the two first structural clamps 312, two grooves 315 provided on the two second structural clamps 313, a plurality of fastening structures 316 provided on the two first structural clamps 312 and the two second structural clamps 313, at least one through hole 317 provided on the two lower fixed side rails 311, and a fixed lower rail 318 provided between the two lower fixed side rails 311.

In actual implementation, the plurality of fastening structures 316 may be replaced by other fastening structures 316, and are not limited thereto. The fixed lower rail 318 may also support the bottom of the display module 4 to prevent light from entering the darkroom 37.

[0037] The two protruding blocks 314 on the two first structural clamps 312 are respectively inserted into the two recesses 315 on the two second structural clamps 313 to fix the positions of the two first structural clamps 312 and the two second structural clamps 313, thereby forming the two lower fixed side rails 311 and allowing the insertion of the display module 4.

[0038] The sides of the display module 4 may be exposed to the outside through the through-holes 317, and preferably, the two first structural clamps 312 and the two second structural clamps 313 are each provided with a recess, and when the two first structural clamps 312 and the two second structural clamps 313 are coupled, the recesses form the through-holes 317, and the position of the through-holes 317 corresponds to a port (not shown) of the display module 4, so that a transmission cable (not shown) can be extended to the outside through the through-holes 317, and the two lower fixed side rails 311 have the property of not transmitting light while supporting the display module 4, and thus prevent light from entering the darkroom 37 when the transmission cable extends to the outside from the display fixing frame 31.

[0039] 3 and 5, the mirror angle fixing structure 35 is used to fix the relative angle between the magic mirror 6 and the display module 4, and in the preferred embodiment, the mirror angle fixing structure 35 comprises at least one angle stopper 351 provided on the display fixing frame 31 and at least one angle fixing member 352 provided on the mirror fixing frame 32, the angle stopper 351 is an upper stopper provided on the display fixing frame 31, and when the mirror fixing frame 32 supports the angle stopper 351 above, the angle fixing member 352 is used to fix the position of the mirror fixing frame 32, thereby fixing the relative angle between the magic mirror 6 and the display module 4, and in actual implementation, the mirror angle fixing structure 35 may use other fixed angle structures and should not be limited thereto.

[0040] 2, 3, and 7, the light-shielding cover 34 comprises a top plate 341, two side plates 342 connected to the top plate 341, a fixed upper rail 343 connected to the top plate 341, and two upper fixed side rails 344 connected to the two side plates 342, respectively, and the two upper fixed side rails 344 are detachably connected to the two lower fixed side rails 311, and the two upper fixed side rails 344 support the sides of the display module 4.

The sound receiver 44 receives the voice of the user 21, the voice recognizer 43 can recognize the voice of the user 21 as text, and the text controller 42 compares the text provided from the voice recognizer 43 with the text output from the display device 41, and the text displayed on the display device 41 is scrolled according to the voice of the user 21, so that the user 21 can always receive reference text for recording or live broadcast content.

[0044] As can be seen from the above description, the prompt device of the present invention has the following definite effects:

[0045] First, maintaining the quality of the image.

[0046] The photographing module 5 is provided below the magic mirror 6, and the magic mirror 6 is provided at an angle to refract the photographing light from the user 21 to the photographing module 5. Since the photographing light from the user 21 does not penetrate the magic mirror 6, the light refraction phenomenon that occurs when light passes through does not occur, and the reflective surface of the magic mirror 6 faces downwards, making it difficult for dust to adhere, so that the photographing quality of the photographing module 5 is not affected.

[0047] Second, there is no need to process the displayed screen.

[0048] The image output from the display module 4 is transmitted to the user 21 directly through the magic mirror 6, so that the user 21 can immediately understand the image output from the display module 4 just like a television broadcast screen, and can directly read text data in particular, and the image output from the display module 4 does not require mirroring processing.

[0049] Third, the transmission cable can be extended to the outside to prevent light leakage.

[0050] Ports of some flat display modules 4 are provided on the side edges, and the through-holes 317 correspond to the ports of the display modules 4, so that the transmission cables can pass through the through-holes 317 and be directly inserted into the ports of the display modules 4, and the mirror fixing frame 32 can be fastened to the side edges of the display modules 4, so that external light will not leak from the side edges of the display modules 4, and the transmission cables inserted into the side edges of the display modules 4 can extend to the outside.

[0051] In summary, the display module 4 is mounted on the display fixing frame 31, the light-shielding cover 34 covers the display module 4, and the darkroom 37 between the display fixing frame 31 and the mirror fixing frame 32 is sealed, thereby preventing external light from entering the darkroom 37 and improving the reflective effect of the magic mirror 6, the photographing module 5 is mounted below the magic mirror 6 to prevent the photographed image from passing through the magic mirror 6, thereby effectively maintaining the image quality of the photographed image, and the image output from the photographing module 5 is transmitted to the user 21 directly through the magic mirror 6, eliminating the need for mirroring processing on the display screen, thereby reliably achieving the object of the present invention.

[0052] The above description is merely one preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention, i.e., all simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application and the new description of the present invention still fall within the patent scope of the present invention.
